Moberly High’s old stage curtains getting updated

An often-overlooked portion of Moberly High School’s stage took center-stage for a portion of Tuesday night’s (Oct. 8) board of education meeting.

The board approved the purchase of two sectional rear curtains, six sectional legs, borders, protective bags, and installation.

Allied Theatre Crafts of Kansas City submitted a bid for $7,317 to update the rear portion of the stage.

The last time the Moberly High School stage saw new curtains dates back 17 years ago. The rear curtains are showing their age. However, new curtains should grace the back of the stage well before the next upcoming musical event.

The musical event for this fall is “The Pajama Game.” Said musical is based on the novel, “7 ½ cents,” by Richard Bissell.
